Northern Trust is expanding its global engineering footprint in Pune and looking for a seasoned Front-End Technical Lead to drive modern web architecture. This is a high-impact role for engineers who want to blend technical design with strategic leadership in a major financial services environment.
Role Overview
As a Senior Lead Software Engineer, you won’t just be writing code; you will be the principal designer for complex front-end applications. You’ll be working directly with architects, product managers, and UX designers to build scalable, secure, and user-centric platforms. The role requires someone who can navigate the balance between hands-on React development and guiding cross-functional teams toward engineering excellence.
You will be expected to push the boundaries of current technology, utilizing AI-assisted tools like GitHub Copilot to optimize developer productivity while ensuring the final product adheres to strict enterprise standards.
Key Responsibilities
- Architectural Leadership: Define the technical direction for front-end applications, specifically focusing on micro front-end architecture and state management using Redux Toolkit.
- Team Mentorship: Lead by example. You’ll be responsible for code reviews, coaching junior engineers, and fostering a culture of technical innovation.
- Strategic Collaboration: Partner with global stakeholders to translate business needs into robust, responsive, and accessible digital interfaces.
- Performance Optimization: Take ownership of load times, rendering performance, and overall user experience across all enterprise web platforms.
- Modernization: Drive the adoption of CI/CD, automated testing, and secure software development practices to maintain high-quality deployment pipelines.
Eligibility & Technical Requirements
To be considered for this position, you need to bring a substantial amount of enterprise experience to the table.
- Experience: A minimum of 10 years in software engineering with a deep focus on large-scale web platforms.
- Core Tech Stack: Expert-level proficiency in React.js, TypeScript, Redux (RTK), HTML5, and CSS3.
- Architecture: Proven ability to implement micro front-end designs and integrate them with REST APIs and cloud services.
- Tools: Hands-on experience with modern CI/CD, testing frameworks (Jest, Cypress), and AI-driven development tools.
- Education: A Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, IT, or a related engineering field is required.
Candidates with previous experience in the FinTech, Capital Markets, or Asset Management sectors will be prioritized. If you have worked with server-side rendering (SSR) or have a strong grasp of WCAG accessibility standards, your profile will stand out.
